This is a sibling to Things that look like alternate history, but aren't

It's about things that everybody knows that it happened, but if you would only know the starting facts you would consider the outcome impossible -> ASB
(before and after 1900)

Examples:

- Jeanne d’Arc (maybe really divine (ASB) intervention?)
- The Spanish Armada (defeat against all ods)
- You can't bomb a country in to democracy, but FRG (West Germany) after WWII (refute of an adage)
- Peaceful fall of the iron curtain in this decade (seen from early '80s)

(don't know if its in the right forum)
